Trips Down Disappointment Drive

Fritz and I were discussing our favorite movies on New Year’s Eve. Revolutionary Road was one we both liked. The title inspired a name for my dating adventures. They’re going to be called trips down Disappointment Drive. Here’s an update on my last few drives.

I found out a few days after Christmas that Ricky Ricardo ended up in the hospital with pneumonia. I told him to text me when he felt better. He’s either still sick or not interested.

Got stood up for a coffee date. The guy texted at the last minute asking to reschedule for two days later. Never heard from him again.

Met another guy for coffee who said I was too tall. I guess he didn’t understand 5’11’’. His profile said he was 5’10’’ which, turns out, was a fib.

The last coffee date was with a guy who was fifty-two. He was really nervous. After some questioning he admitted that he never met with another gay guy in public. I bid him adieu as I don’t have the patience to guide his coming out journey.
